All-Hands Memos

Microsoft Patches for Windows Systems
Microsoft released several critical patches last week for Windows  
systems. Due to the nature of these patches, the CNI group has decided  
to send them out to all Computer Center-managed Windows machines  
starting today. If you work on one of these systems, please log out of  
all desktop computers at the end of your workday, but leave them  
powered on so that the patches can be installed. If you experience  
difficulties with your computer in the morning, reboot to see if that  
fixes the problem before calling the Help Desk (x7155) for assistance.

contractors with office/work areas in the impacted facilities should  
log off and turn off all computing equipment and any other office
